Good question! We had lots of discussions as a family about it, but realised that the house we were living in at the time just didn't have the right floor plan or space. And so the great house search began.....This was an opportunity to move closer to work and school as well as include other people in our family. We both spent hours trawling the internet, and then all of a sudden it started to "click".
We knew 2 people who were from our church. We asked them if they'd be interested in atleast discussing the idea with us. They said yes. We had dinner together and outlined the plan. They were interested, although lots more talking had to happen. So now we had all the right people, but no house. We finally found a 6 bedroom place in an awesome location and MUCH closer to work and church for us. We went from just thinking this would be great to putting in an application and having it accepted the next day!
Then we had to rent out our house which was massive in itself, pack everything up, have open inspections at the old place and have ongoing discussions about how this would work, who would do what, looking at every foreseeable situation and working through the feelings that come with changes.
From our initial conversation asking our friends if they'd consider living with us to moving in took 6 weeks.
